Fox Sports Is Extremely Lazy
Several of you noted Fox used the bizarre image above—one of injured Vikings quarterback Teddy Bridgewater, but with current Minnesota QB Sam Bradford’s face pasted on—during this afternoon’s NFL broadcast, but that’s far from the first time we’ve seen the image pop up.
